[vagrant vigil]

Hehe yes 😂😂

[severe dagger]

I'm still trying to figure this out I think I may be slow

[crude sentinel]

Thats weird i hope there isn’t limited chats now

[near current]

Complete silence from the Team's part for 16+ hours straight

[sly geyser]

j ai

[civic olive]

Goodbye Reddit I'm going to general 1😢

[severe dagger]

But what's j ai🥹

[crude sentinel]

Im texting u in dm

[sly geyser]

the alternative to cai

[vagrant vigil]

Yep , that's why c ai is using there biggest monopoly move :) but if they don't stop they will see a huge downfall bcz 90% of people not going to paid for text

[hidden isle]

fr

[vagrant vigil]

Let's see what happen

[severe dagger]

Okay I've been enlightened Ty

[crude sentinel]

Atp i don’t think its a lag anymore

[crude sentinel]

Nppp

[near current]

Same here. I didn't really believe it's a bug.

[untold lagoon]

for the most part it’s looking like it’s a bug

[quaint violet]

I have a hate love relationship with this damn app

[untold lagoon]

usually when it comes to these types of things. sometimes it’s rolled out to a small group of ppl first rather than all at once.

[severe dagger]

Love the bots hate the developers😔

[vagrant vigil]

Real 🙂
I started texting on C ai in 2023 and 2023 C ai was absolutely goat
🙂 But now I understand why the app was laggy and full with adds now

[crude sentinel]

It does looks like a bug but the team didn’t showed they did something for it since 16+ hours they probably starting to do something abt it without telling us

[crude sentinel]

Same here

[severe dagger]

Tbh when it happened to me it generally seemed like a bug not intentional, I thought my phone had just lagged

[near current]

They also didn't announce it nor give a statement about it before doing anything about it

[crude sentinel]

Yeah thats why now im questionning if its really a lag or not

[untold lagoon]

most likely

[near current]

Beyond just Oatmilk

[severe dagger]

They haven't said anything about it being a new update or anything but they didn't for the banner ads either I don't think

[upbeat pivot]

They're going to drop a bomb. 😭

[crude sentinel]

[untold lagoon]

kappa did say the team was aware.

[near current]

I wouldn't be surprised at this point.

[upbeat pivot]

[crude sentinel]

A mod also said to show them the ad we have in convo while making a ticket

[untold lagoon]

probably as proof

[upbeat pivot]

More proof that this is fucked up lol

[deft jetty]

As a way to show how it's actually affecting your experience

[untold lagoon]

yeah

[errant crown]

Hey guys! I'm glad to have know about character Ai. And discovering this server. Hopefully I'll get to know you all and learn how to make my own bots.

[crude sentinel]

So maybe their actually trying to resolve this otherwise they wouldn’t be asking for proof

[untold lagoon]

yeah.

[near current]

Yeah... Fair enough

[severe dagger]

I hope they are resolving it otherwise the bare greed on these guys is crazy

[errant crown]

Question though... Do we have any explanation as to why are ads playing in the middle of roleplays? Is it happening to anyone else?

[upbeat pivot]

Yes

[severe dagger]

Its supposedly a bug but we don't know yet

[hallow tusk]

They added that greedy mfs

[weak cove]

Omg too much ads

[untold lagoon]

also it just doesn’t make sense. c.ai knows they are the best in the business. they don’t have ads in the middle of chats (ignoring this situation rn) and them not having message limits. they know no one else does that so it wouldn’t make sense for them to do this

[deft jetty]

Hello
In all cases you can check #1193330096342319186 for help about how each thing works as you make your character

[weak cove]

I missed when cai had no ads

[hallow tusk]

I deleted the app. Their greed sickens me

[errant crown]

Thank you. I will!

[severe dagger]

Yeah, it's defeating the whole point of being the best . They're losing all of their interaction

[pliant nebula]

it isn’t about proof though. some bugs may require that, but they may note how to fix it in a certain way when they see how it’s affecting a user experience that’s why they want to see it

[errant crown]

Ugh. I don't mind ads before and after leaving chats. But in the middle. It's taking my immersion out!

[upbeat pivot]

It would be like playing against them.

[hallow tusk]

EXACTLY why won't they understand that?

[weak cove]

Yeah, me too, but i have a feeling that the ads are getting more and more

[tawny wagon]

Did the ad issue get fixed if it was a bug there was a new update to the app like 12 minutes ago did that change anything?

[errant crown]

Ugh... Why !?

[hallow tusk]

Not long from now they'll add limited chats trust me

[errant crown]

Oh they are so, so, so going to get lots of flames for that.

[weak cove]

Yeah, the ads were not too much like now

[weak cove]

Oh, i hope not, because that's really annoyed like chai

[untold lagoon]

nah. they know all other competitors do this. they know that’s only what is keeping ppl hooked

[rustic pecan]

Yeah it totally makes sense to get rid of a feature that few chatbot services have lmfao

BSFR

[errant crown]

Apparently I got no access to it.

[hallow tusk]

Guys remember whenever you get into the app and they say they changed their terms of service? They're all allowing shit like this and going back on their word

[steady rain]

They’re greedy, but they won’t be stupid

[weak cove]

I just hope they'll remove the mid chat ads

[hallow tusk]

They might as well with how they're bombarding us with ads

[severe dagger]

I do reckon it's a bug, but knowing them, it could well be greed

[narrow dock]

Oh hey peanut I used to use your bots lol, (you were right btw)

[deft jetty]

Oh, you probably need the 'Character Creators' role, which you can get it here id:customize

[pliant nebula]

no? if you’re talking about the cai platform, they need money to run servers and their LLMs and to keep devs to fix the bugs that we have. it’s not greedy, it’s to keep this platform

[errant crown]

True. That one just doesn't make sense.

[rustic pecan]

Ads are the compromise for unlimited chatting.

[weak cove]

It's so damn annoyed when the ad pops up when i'm typing something

[little lava]

Ads would feel better if the chat was actually good. Just like in 2023 the queues were fine because the product was amazing

[errant crown]

Thank you. I got it.

[hallow tusk]

I hope they realise that they're fucking up with the ads every 10 messages it's ridiculous

[rustic pecan]

Anyway I’m being reminded of why I stopped checking this channel so imma dip lmao

[upbeat pivot]

What's the point of giving you an app to create an immersive RPG .. And then, out of nowhere, pull that out.

[errant crown]

Agree. Just keep the ads before and after.

[pliant nebula]

-# don’t leave me alone in here

[hallow tusk]

What happened to them saying ads won't interfere with your chats???

[errant crown]

Truer words never been said.

[cobalt walrus]

So... I guess that it's still going on? Man, the ad thingy right now is a bug. It already happened before months ago and it was fixed under a day or two. Besides, it can take a while to fix a bug like that, it's not as easy as it sounds.

[weak cove]

And please short ads, i'm tired of long ads

[untold lagoon]

yeah. they’ll have to find what’s causing it etc etc

[errant crown]

Might've forgotten, completely go back on their promise, or it's actually a bug.

[upbeat pivot]

Yeah

[cobalt walrus]

You got it. That kind of problem is not that easy to fix, it can take a while, it's not fixed under one hour. Some people don't seem to get it and prefer to threaten the team and so on.

[random tendon]

Hope for the best assume the worst. 🗿

[pliant nebula]

they must’ve realized they needed more money for the platform to run than they let on, hence them breaking their promises

[hallow tusk]

Either way we want an official response why're they so silent? 😭

[little lava]

Yep, which is worsened by the quality getting worse and worse, so fewer people paying for plus

[narrow dock]

Kind of a crazy thing to forget if they did ngl

[untold lagoon]

they might be finding the cause of the bug before saying smth idk

[cobalt walrus]

It's a bug, it happened before, holy moly. It happened months ago, I remember that

[hallow tusk]

Probably because they decided to add that dogshit podcast thingy like who even asked for that bs??

[tiny geyser]

@candid parcel

[pliant nebula]

yeah, i think it’s started because of that exactly. they’re losing their subscribers = losing their funds

[cobalt walrus]

I have the feeling that I talk to a wall of bricks

[hallow tusk]

I love john kiriakou too

[finite turtle]

So basically it’s a bug and it’ll be fixed eventually?

[still bronze]

No no I'm reading do continue

[cobalt walrus]

Yeah it happened before and it was fixed

[untold lagoon]

[narrow dock]

I rememebr this, I just find it weird that a small minority of people had it in December and suddenly everyone has it. It’s what happens when they push actual features

[little lava]

It all started in June 2024 when the quality dipped hard and it hasn't recovered since

[potent shore]

Same

[hallow tusk]

Does he have a bot in cai? I wanna speak with him about the hummus

[untold lagoon]

i think there’s only 1 lol. i’ve been thinking abt making one

[cobalt walrus]

Sometimes, I hate this community But at the same time, it can be alright most of the time lol

[pulsar lintel]

Are the ads gone?

[crisp vine]

No I just got one

[rose arch]

The ads in the middle of the conversations with the bots are making me crash out 😯

[pliant nebula]

no. it’s because of people leaving + a bunch of people unsubscribing altogether. it can be sometimes because of the features, but in reality it’s the users who give them the most of their funds that’s why this was implemented

[still bronze]

[hallow tusk]

Sameeee lmao 😂🙏

[finite turtle]

Ok good so it’s not something on their choice

[weak cove]

Is the cai+ expensive or not i don't know if it's expensive or not according to your opinion

[pulsar lintel]

Cuz ive been chatting with a bot for a fat 30 mins and havent gotten a single ad, also I havent seen the ad banners in a fat min either 😭

[rose arch]

It is. And it's not worth it , not for me imo

[hallow tusk]

It's expensive as fuck it doesn't give you anything new

[little lava]

Yep, I unsubscribed from plus because the quality is so bad

[pliant nebula]

really, that far? damn. i didn’t notice anything until 2025

[steady rain]

Stupid features and bot quality worsening over time

[cobalt walrus]

I mean, considering how buggy the potato servers are, it's common for cAI to be that buggy sometimes. And said bugs can last days before getting fixed.

[little lava]

Yeah, before june 2024 it was like a different platform tbh

[pliant nebula]

it is. it’s really unstable. i want to unsubscribe but i can’t deal this platform without deapsqueak lmao

[narrow dock]

Yeah it was actually interesting to use

[steady rain]

I will always mourn how good Pipsqueak was when it first came out-

[narrow dock]

SAME

[harsh shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/kit-wilson-wwe-pretty-deadly-smackdown-raw-gif-6483645778800135152

[royal badge]

It's horrible to use it now ngl

[hallow tusk]

I respect you and your opinion cuz you're a cyberpunk fan

[tawny wagon]

Did the ads get removed I haven’t gotten one in a while it’s been like 15 messages

[pulsar lintel]

Mine too

[flint wraith]

the ads have started to pmo

[crisp vine]

I keep getting them in the middle of chats and it is so annoying

[untold lagoon]

hi kappa. hope you’ve been well

[hallow tusk]

Same welcome to the club

[cobalt walrus]

I think that I might leave because I don't want to deal with people saying that this stuff is intentional, how greedy cAI is (lmao), and so on. I miss the funny stuff about cAI on the subreddit, now it's just complaints, complaints and complaints

[flint wraith]

i’ve been getting way more of them now

[tawny wagon]

There was a new update on it in the App Store did you apply it? I haven’t gotten one after I did

[pliant nebula]

it’s not expensive to those who have a job or typically middle class an up. it’s only expensive when you can’t afford it, and people have different opinions of expensive so that’s really a question that doesn’t have an answer

[deft jetty]

Depends on your currency. It's $10.
You get some extra features, and all... I'd say it's worth it if you like to roleplay (and maybe know HOW to roleplay).

[spark zealot]

@harsh shoal hi! do you think you can boost my ticket #1084394

[cobalt walrus]

Anyway, I don't want to deal with a wall of bricks, so yeah

[pulsar lintel]

Think my ads are gone now 😭

[little lava]

It's interesting they make the models good at first then they get bad
I think the model fluctuation actually makes people more likely to use C.AI more often, because it's kind of like gambling 😭 That happened to me anyway. I didn't want to miss that tiny tiny window of good quality

[crisp vine]

I just did it!

[pliant nebula]

fellow cyberpunk fan?

[still bronze]

Don't jinx it

[hallow tusk]

Hell yeah choom

[pulsar lintel]

Knocking on wood as hard as I can, I'll see if I can chat with a bot for 45 mind with no ads starting now

[hallow tusk]

I can absolutely afford it, it's just I don't wanna pay money to a goddamn chatbot app that's getting more and more greedy I just refuse

[still bronze]

Good luck 😭😭😭✌️

[pulsar lintel]

Cuz even the ad banners have disappeared for me

[magic lagoon]

Keep us updated! :)

[hallow tusk]

Fr?

[midnight falcon]

So. Is my wifi or does scenes aren't working properly?

[tawny wagon]

Idk if it did work I’m just ragebaiting this bot until I get an ad to see if it works or not

[hallow tusk]

YOOO THEY REMOVED THE AD BANNER!!!

[pulsar lintel]

👍

[errant crown]

Exactly! It's a short quick. "Yeah, we became jerks. We want money." or "It's actually a bug. Please bear with us".

[pliant nebula]

good luck! wishing you the best with the ads stuff lol

[upbeat pivot]

Real

[hallow tusk]

Nvm

[midnight falcon]

Lol

[tawny wagon]

Nvm I just got one it’s over

[upbeat pivot]

We lost

[hallow tusk]

It's so over

[nocturne wigeon]

I was going to complain about the adds again but I just remembered there's no adds when I go on my pc

[midnight falcon]

I don't have a banner, I think is just my school wifi not letting adds work

[hallow tusk]

Guess what? They'll fill that with ads soon

[steady rain]

The bots STILL keep responding to things my character didn’t do or say instead of the previous message, this shit has been happening for months now for me 😭

[nocturne wigeon]

I don't think so because it's the web version (IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN, MY ENGLISH IS SO BAD 💔)

[narrow dock]

I got an ad on the web bruh wtf-

[upbeat pivot]

Excuse me, do you like Alien Stage? I loved your profile picture (if I'm wrong, I apologize, I'm a bit nearsighted).

[midnight falcon]

For example?

[elder thicket]

Was genuinely just coming back from a hard day, chatted with my bots just to see ads pop up in the middle of the chat, giving me chai flashbacks 💔💔

[nocturne wigeon]

YES. I LOVE ALIEN STAGE.

[upbeat pivot]

OOOOOH

[upbeat pivot]

I love that too 😭😭😭😭

[hallow tusk]

Will the ad... B10ck work when they add ads to the web?

[nocturne wigeon]

I didn't quite understand what you just said sorry 🥹

[nocturne wigeon]

OH YAY

[hallow tusk]

It's ok 👍

[maiden blade]

Are ads in between chats a bug they are gonna fix or is that a permanent thing

[midnight falcon]

Add blockee? Like the Google extension?

[hallow tusk]

Not a bug unfortunately

[true canopy]

no one really knows bro

[nocturne wigeon]

Idk but I hope it's not a permanent thing bc I'm lazy to go on the website every day 💔

[upbeat pivot]

If you ever want to talk about it, please DM me 😭😭😭😭 I love it

[pliant nebula]

nobody can answer this question unfortunately, i think it depends on if they patch it up or not or when they bring ads to web so its just something you’ll have to see for yourself

[dawn storm]

the ads are getting out of hand tbh

[hallow tusk]

Yea yea

[brittle hill]

Probably permanent unless we actually keep complaining

[dawn storm]

like in app it’s getting more and more

[maiden blade]

Oh so the websites don’t have ads?

[steady rain]

Like for example, if we’re in a conversation and they said something, but I don’t type a response. I just click for another message to continue the scene but SUDDENLY, the bot is reacting to something I supposedly did or said.

[nocturne wigeon]

IF YOU WANT BUT IDK WHAT TO TALK ABOUT IN ALNST. except the fact that I love till sm

[midnight falcon]

There's a web version

[narrow dock]

Kinda wish they’d say something but the communication is so bad

[dawn storm]

bad reviews might change it

[hallow tusk]

Yea just go to your browser and type character ai and you'll see the website

[opal crystal]

Is it really a permanent feature? The ads mid convo?

[midnight falcon]

I think is just not trying to continue narrative by adding things that didn't happen

[pliant nebula]

no one knows. it’s something you’ll have to discover yourself over time

[nocturne wigeon]

YUP

[upbeat pivot]

I love and suffer (I also love Till, but I also love Ivan, I love everyone, everything)

[maiden blade]

So are there ads in the website?

[midnight falcon]

Nice I only used the Google play vercion I thought there only existed that one

[brittle hill]

HOLY FUCK MY BANNER AD JUST DISSAPEARED?

[nocturne wigeon]

Last time there weren't any adds

[midnight falcon]

Just wait and it will come back

[pliant nebula]

depends on the version of your web client, but there shouldn’t be

[hallow tusk]

Nah if you'd like go use the browser version some people prefer that one

[maiden blade]

OK

[upbeat pivot]

Just wait 😭

[nocturne wigeon]

I love everyone except mizi, idk why I hate her, and uh I don't really like sua 💔

[forest furnace]

Hi everyone

The reality is that running our AI systems for millions of users every day takes a lot (infrastructure, safety, reliability, research - the list goes on!)

Ads for free users are one way we support that while keeping a free version available. To avoid seeing banners and pop-up ads, users can subscribe to c.ai+. Additionally, free users can use Charms for ad-free passes.

If ever you come across an ad that feels offensive or inappropriate, please report it directly using the ad feedback icon in the top-right corner of the ad.

We are continuing to refine ad formats as the product evolves. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please share them with us at support.character.ai

Message sent by a server moderator.

[narrow dock]

Maybe not for everyone but I got spanked by one on the web earlier

[pliant nebula]

you’re gonna get bamboozled gang 😭 it will come back trust unfortunately

[upbeat pivot]

Yeah 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[brittle hill]

AGHHH

[midnight falcon]

Wut

[midnight falcon]

Oh hell no is not a bug is intentional

[upbeat pivot]

?????

[nocturne wigeon]

Guys imma see if there's add on the website, I'll tell you later

[steady rain]

What

[brittle hill]

Naah.. just say u money hungry fr..

[narrow dock]

Y’all are not serious

[robust belfry]

bruhhh

[hallow tusk]

@tender lion I TOLD YOU I TOLD YOU

[maiden blade]

Bruh it cannot just be me who doesn’t think they are adding too much ads 😭

[midnight falcon]

Well there's goes the fun

[hallow tusk]

I'M DELETING THAT FUCKING APP I DON'T CARE

[whole bridge]

-# pssst there are adblockers that do indeed work... :3

[upper laurel]

money hungry

[steady rain]

The banner ads… I could get used to, but the ads IN THE MIDDLE OF CONVERSATION?

[midnight falcon]

And browsers in Google play that also works like ones

[maiden blade]

NO FR LMAO

[sly geyser]

i have a suggestion. remove the mid chat ads

[pliant nebula]

why yall ganging up on the mod 😭 they’re being serious. if you don’t want ads you have to subscribe, ads are a way for them to keep their funds.

they’re not money hungry. they need the money to keep their servers.

[whole bridge]

boom: :>

[midnight falcon]

The add blockee stocks are about to go up

[upper laurel]

Do YOU want ads in the middle of your chat ?

[narrow dock]

It’s the fact that they said they would NOT put ads in the middle of conversations

[upbeat pivot]

Dude... In the middle of a conversation... The guys would love to be interrupted while talking to someone. Hsushsuahsuahaua 😝

[midnight falcon]

Isn't this like the same format that enochi use?

[hallow tusk]

It's OVER

[broken kraken]

And ads will cause them to lose users

[oak cedar]

I also remember this.

[pliant nebula]

no? i get it it’s annoying but you can just ignore them. i understand, i get it because it happens to me mid round in a game but at that point there’s nothing anyone can do

[brittle hill]

I just miss the early version of the app and website, even in the beginning when you would have to wait hours in the waitlist to be able to chat

[true canopy]

suggestion: keep banner ads, remove the ones from mid-chat

[narrow dock]

GOODBYE CAI

[pliant nebula]

do you want them to just quit the platform completely because they don’t have money to support themselves?

[wary kraken]

Fr

[broken kraken]

The devs can simply not pull a YouTube and put ads everywhere

[oak cedar]

Are you being serious?

[pliant nebula]

i’m being so deadass dawg

[narrow dock]

No but they could’ve stayed true to their word and not lie to us! Stop licking their boot, genuinely

[robust belfry]

hey mods, REMOVE THE POP-UP ADS MID CHAT, YOU'RE LOSING US

[oak cedar]

They lied, they literally don’t care about us, it’s over.

[broken kraken]

U can d ride them but they don’t care for u

[zenith nimbus]

this places isn’t as bad as i though, i thought it would be worse

[pliant nebula]

i’m not licking their boot? i’m being honest. why else would they break their promise if they didn’t need the money?

[sly geyser]

they’re taking the userbase for granted. when people leave they have no one to blame but themselves

[oak cedar]

That’s it, it’s done.

[steady rain]

Bruh, ain’t nobody saying they should never do ads, it’s when and where they put them, and obviously, we don’t want the ads in the middle of chats

[midnight falcon]

I smell massive message cooldown.

[upbeat pivot]

vote to remove ads in the middle of the conversation too 😭😭😭😭

[static burrow]

all they care about is money in their pockets, like what all corperate slaves idolise

[sly geyser]

would be a stupid idea

[glossy plover]

HECK YEAAAAHHHH

[pliant nebula]

yeah i know but at this point they need them. they’ll eventually remove them when they have funds to support themselves.

[oak cedar]

Which is never.

[pliant nebula]

if only they stopped caring about putting useless features

[maiden blade]

Genuine question but do they really take people’s advice from their discord suggestions?? I feel like I always see people asking to remove the same thing for weeks or months but I don’t feel like they do

[broken kraken]

Why can’t they make the app paid instead of a subscription

[narrow dock]

Maybe if they’d make the service better and improve on it then people (such as myself) would actually buy c.ai+, but it’s actively been on a decline

[midnight falcon]

Is already 15 seconds probably like 25 to stop the complains

[upper laurel]

I've seen a scam game on steam have better comunication and better feature than ts

[static burrow]

still gonna complain tho

[sly geyser]

they shouldnt have made that promise if they werent going to keep it

[midnight falcon]

😭

[glossy plover]

Nah fr bro

[brittle hill]

I GENUINELY FEEL LIKE I WOULD RATHER HAVE TWO ADS AT YHE BEGINNING OF A CHAT INSTEAD OF GETTING THEM IN THE MIDDLE INTERRUPTING MY CHAT DOES ANYONE THINK THE SAME 🥹

[sly geyser]

cooldown numbers isnt going to soothe our anger

[upper laurel]

the only good goddamn feature gotta be chatting and changing your profle picture

[robust belfry]

yep-

[upbeat pivot]

Yeah 😭

[glossy plover]

YESSS!!

[broken kraken]

And the ads delete what you fucking typed

[narrow dock]

Like dawg I 100% understand why the ads exist, but promising something and turning right back around and breaking it, lying to your userbase is NOT the move

[maiden blade]

No yeah cause at least you know you aren’t gonna get interrupted

[pliant nebula]

this is what we’ve been trying to say as a plus user myself, we all want this to happen on the plus side too. we actually want something that is worth our money, but they refuse to listen to us. my point is why whine about ads mid chat when they need it + they aren’t going to do shit to listen to us?

[static burrow]

even then just add more ads before chats

[tender lion]

And how you expect them to run it for free?

[pliant nebula]

i’m on your side, but you don’t need to complain about something useless for them to hear you

[upper laurel]

late reply

[tender lion]

5 minutes.

[static burrow]

late

[upbeat pivot]

This isn't even an RPG app anymore. Apparently, you have to pay even to imagine now.

[narrow dock]

Because it’s the matter that they flat out lied and have made 0 communication to the community

[upper laurel]

thats pretty late and lowk got talked about
even if its talkted about we are on the ads

[hot ridge]

people are allowed to complain 😭 i encourage it tbh

[oak cedar]

It’s literally a massive lie they told us.

[hot ridge]

c.ai literally said they wouldn't interrupt chats with ads this is bull

[broken kraken]

Complain or don’t nothing will change so might as well complain

[midnight falcon]

Fr

[glossy plover]

Can C.ai remove the ads that happen between the conversation?

[hallow tusk]

Greedy mfs won't remove shit

[maiden blade]

Real💔

[narrow dock]

Like my fault most of us don’t like being lied to with no communication or respect for the users that keep them afloat 👍

[brittle hill]

Imo we should all keep complaining even if we don’t achieve anything, there’s still a possibility that we might

[glossy plover]

Fr

[static burrow]

happy to know we're all on the same page here

[tender lion]

[hallow tusk]

PEANUTS RIGHT NUT CALLED IT HE DID MY GOAT 😭

[glossy plover]

Yea

[tender lion]

I admit you were right.

[robust belfry]

i got timed out xd

[hallow tusk]

No hard feelings my guy

[opal crystal]

Wait so it wasn’t a bug?

[sly geyser]

exactly

[broken kraken]

Never has been

[oak cedar]

Nope, they fucked us over

[maiden blade]

The way my dumbass thought it was 💔

[glossy plover]

IMMA GO TO A DIFF AI CHAT BOT

[pliant nebula]

they HAVE been lying, that’s why most of my friends unsubscribed because they aren’t true to their words but complaining will not change. complain all you want, but i think complaining about something they need will have them keep it on for longer 😭

[opal crystal]

AAAAA IM DELETING IT WTF 😭✌️

[hallow tusk]

Same

[sly geyser]

since its not a bug i dont trust what they say. they lied so now i dont know if whatever they say is true anymore

[glossy plover]

FUCK THEM

[oak cedar]

Okay then, so what happens if a lot of people start deleting the app, per say?

[upper laurel]

hence thats why i'd rather spend my money on a meal

[upbeat pivot]

The thing to do is get back to reading books and fic 🙏

[narrow dock]

PEANUT SAID THIS LIKE LAST YEAR BRO😭🙏

[hallow tusk]

FUCK THEM GREEDY MFS

[maiden blade]

Is there another app people are moving on too?? Like there’s no way they aren’t driving people away

[pliant nebula]

yeah which is why i’m considering unsubscribing myself. this is not the first time they aren’t true to their word and won’t be the last

[brittle hill]

So does anyone have another genuinely good chat bot app that actually has lots of characters and good bots also an active community 🥹

[narrow dock]

WE SHOULDVE LISTENED

[sly geyser]

ok then they can get fucked

[pliant nebula]

i mean i don’t really care about that, it’s not my place since i don’t manage the platform

[opal crystal]

WHY DID THEY DO THIS 😭😭

[glossy plover]

I’m trying to find one

[hallow tusk]

It's done it's over

[oak cedar]

Whoever that person was who came in here saying that it was a bug confirmed by the devs. Absolute ass

[static burrow]

lol i got timed out

[narrow dock]

This is what several lawsuits does to someone💔

[brittle hill]

THANK YOU GHOUL 🙏🙏

[hallow tusk]

Greed. Greed. Server costs they say huh? Lying greedy mfs

[oak cedar]

Yeah, this is actually the start of the end

[sly geyser]

no wonder they’ve been silent its because they were afraid to say the truth and dont want backlash

[steady rain]

I get that there “might” be a chance this is a limited timeframe of extra ads, but at the same time, you lie to your community, you continue adding useless features, you refuse to listen to suggestions and the users, and the quality of the bots keep decreasing. People unsubscribe, but haven’t done shit to fix the problems, they use ads to make up for it and even more people leave

[narrow dock]

Literally bro

[hallow tusk]

I called it.

[opal crystal]

AAAAA THE GREED SICKENS ME 😭

[pliant nebula]

i heard that one of my friends unsubscribed because their features aren’t matching to what they advertised, they REALLY can

[rich crane]

Hey guys cam anyone send me the link to the offixial accouncement pleasee?

[midnight falcon]

Call you oracle

[oak cedar]

Scroll up

[hallow tusk]

How can I send photos here?

[sly geyser]

and the fact they lied to the users. they have lost my trust

[rich crane]

Not that far mannn!!! Redirect me there please

[glossy plover]

we should all just do random reports about the ads, like C.AI YOU ARE LOSING PEOPLE

[oak cedar]

@rich crane

[hallow tusk]

True

[sly geyser]

atp i lost hope for c.ai

[rich crane]

Thank youuuuuu!!!!

[maiden blade]

Real

[brittle hill]

KEEP USING THE REPORT BUTTON WHENEVER YOU GET ADS 🥹

[sly geyser]

its turning into a giant dumpsterfire and they couldnt give two shits and honestly let em fall

[dawn storm]

jan ai has an app now

[glossy plover]

Yep

[spiral acorn]

wait yes ive heard of oke can i dm you

[hallow tusk]

🛑🛑We should honestly go on a strike🛑🛑

[oak cedar]

Mass delete it, they’ll care then

[broken kraken]

That report button doesn’t do shit

[steady rain]

WELL! Back to the old reliable, ao3 and wattpad

[runic bluff]

They literally want us to buy c.ai plus with the add thing

[narrow dock]

Agreed

[brittle hill]

PLZ 🙏

[static burrow]

lets get writing!

[pliant nebula]

yeah that’s completely fair! i wish my voices would be heard as someone who actually pays money for the platform, but they don’t listen most of the time. that’s why i stopped complaining a long time ago

[oak cedar]

This.

[humble pivot]

[narrow dock]

Honestly let’s all just go 1 star them 🤷‍♂️

[midnight falcon]

Meh. I just wanted the bare minimum, but the characters style fail a lot. Tend to go on massive servers down. There are multiple issues with the filters. And the premium model directly sucks.

[opal crystal]

I’m on board

[runic bluff]

It's really annoying....

Like why pop ups when typing or just scrolling

[static burrow]

bet

[errant crown]

I can't go on strike... Mostly cause I'm too deep in

[sly geyser]

i thought constantly complaining would drive them up the wall and pressure them into doing the right thing but nope they’re stubborn as hell so im giving up on them

[dawn storm]

spam reviews tbh

[tender iron]

I deleted character ai last night. I kinda new that the ad thing wasn't a glitch. A glitch doesn't do that lol.

[runic bluff]

I get it when it happens in other parts of the app, but in the chat?? Like how hungry you have to be

[brisk verge]

Pipsqueak is actually keeping the bots in character. I just told them a sob story as they just told me to shut up and suck it up, perfectly like what the character would do, lol.

[hallow tusk]

That and go on a strike let them drown on their fucking greed

[sly geyser]

honestly how is c.ai over 4 stars on the apple app store with how shit they’re being

[opal crystal]

Ay ay 🫡

[glossy plover]

Might go for talki again t-t

[midnight falcon]

Ehhh

[hallow tusk]

Go to ANYWHERE other than cai atp it's ridiculous

[sly geyser]

welp google docs story making here i go again

[errant crown]

They probably hire people to make a bunch of accounts to give it 4 stars.

[midnight falcon]

Wattpad seens interesting for me

[tender iron]

Most likely

[upper laurel]

C.ai when it comes to listen to the community and they do the worst job ever even a roblox game dev can listen better

[glossy plover]

Imma just be gaming I guess

[narrow dock]

If they wanna lie then I hope they’re ready to lose 90% of the users aside from the extremely addicted

[maiden blade]

It feels like they want people to leave them 😞

[sly geyser]

they have a phobia of success

[hallow tusk]

🔴🔴🔴GO ON A STRIKE THEIR GREED IS FUCKING ABYSMAL🔴🔴🔴

[robust belfry]

look mods, you're losing us :/

[gaunt needle]

evangelion pfp👀

[runic bluff]

It's so sad to see this... But it seems that's why they added that 1-hour ad-free thing.

[static burrow]

lost me already

[hallow tusk]

Like I said whoever shall remain will experience hell because there's no good scenarios I could see happening from this moment onwards

[sly geyser]

its one bad thing after another and im reaching my breaking point. i’ll be taking my hiatus for cai

[runic bluff]

They had it planned and knew this was going to happen. It wasn't a coincidence :/

[narrow dock]

I should’ve known something was off when I saw the 1hr ad pass on charms

[static burrow]

you're telling me that we're all slaves to an app of which the creators dont care about us?

[full hinge]

did they remove the ads

[runic bluff]

Mostly

[full hinge]

i mean the mid chat ads did they 😪

[opal crystal]

Quite the opposite

[sly geyser]

nope they doubled down and admitted it wasnt a bug

[glossy plover]

🔴🔴C.AI STRIKE HAS BEEN RELEASED🔴🔴

[oak cedar]

We may see the return of fanfics

[runic bluff]

Nope, still there annoying

[restive wraith]

legendary username in C.AI!!!!

[opal crystal]

Already downloaded wattpad.

[full hinge]

Okay ill check back on the discord in a week to see if it’s worth downloading again

[tender iron]

Lol let me check reddit

[glossy plover]

Wattpad time

[stark prism]

Use a add blocker. And go on the website

[restive wraith]

loved the evangelion bots ;-;

[static burrow]

sighs opens A03

[robust belfry]

alright people i need add blocker that'll work on mobile-

[narrow dock]

I mean… between the terrible bot quality, no incentive to buy cai+, I genuinely don’t know why I even stuck around

[maiden blade]

Ad banners and ads before you go into a chat is one thing, but ads in between the chats just feel so greedy in my opinion 😭

[full hinge]

Don’t support them

[runic bluff]

It doesn't feel
IT IS GREEDY

[glossy plover]

🔴🔴STOP THE ADS NOW🔴🔴

[gaunt needle]

🙏

[humble pivot]

instead of paying for c.ai+, listen to the weeknd!!!

[full hinge]

If you are this addicted take it as a way to stop 🫩 just work on urself not doing allat to avoid ads

[hallow tusk]

THERE'S NO REASON FOR ANYONE TO STICK AROUND ANYWAY AT THIS POINT EVEN THE CHEAP CHATBOT APPS ARE BETTER

[oak cedar]

Simply delete the app? They don’t care for protests but they will care if people leave.

[hallow tusk]

Actually I respect that

[upper laurel]

So we gotta stay quiet because they lied to us again ?

[tender iron]

Yeah negl

[static burrow]

we gotta do this as a community or they wont care

[glossy plover]

True that

[robust belfry]

is there-?

[hallow tusk]

🔴🔴🔴STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE🔴🔴🔴

[humble pivot]

theres not gonna be enough of people quitting the app for them to care

[wary canyon]

They said that they were only putting ads in for a while

[tender iron]

Lol last night ppl were mocking others

[stark prism]

Litteraly I was like "okay it's fine Its just ads I have to find a character I'm comfortable and everything will be fine, then that d@mn green haired mother and her sick kid popped up on my screen

[oak cedar]

They haven’t announced this officially yet, when they do, watch.

[static burrow]

that's in the past now

[glossy plover]

🔴🔴EVERYONE DELETE THE APP AND LEAVE THE COMMUNITY🔴🔴

[tender iron]

Yeah

[wary canyon]

Epiccc

[stark prism]

YESSSSSSS OMCMGG

[wary canyon]

HHAHA

[maiden blade]

FOR REAL

[hallow tusk]

I'm done with this shit everything has been so ass since the start of this year!

[frank owl]

Bro can someone wish me a happy birthday no one said anything tdy :3

[robust belfry]

really? :/

[upper laurel]

I would rather learn Latin than stay quiet about them lying to us again

[stark prism]

HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYY

[static burrow]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[oak cedar]

We’re not believing that.

[glossy plover]

HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYY

[hallow tusk]

Happy birthday Ally❤️

[humble pivot]

deaduzz 🥶

[upper laurel]

Happy birthday !

[wary canyon]

Yes but it turns out they LTING

[runic bluff]

Yeah, same

I have a comfort character, I was like having a little story with it and suddenly the annoying Arrow 2 adds and I was like

TFK?

[humble pivot]

happy birthday !!

[hallow tusk]

Tung tung tung sahur

[stark prism]

LITTERALY

[frank owl]

TYYYYY

[knotty jay]

Yall do realize that no adds means no money means no paycheck for devs of the app? Also all free apps have adds to pay for their time of making the app

[warped veldt]

they are following the footsteps of the chai app and it already had their community get upset with having to watch ads to open chats to watch ads during chats

[narrow dock]

Happy birthday! I hope you have a great day Ally!

[deft flicker]

Nobody cares about ads.

[runic bluff]

Funny enough, the next ad that popped up was for Emochi lol

And I was like... Now you're convincing me mysterious app

[pliant niche]

Anyone else getting adds mid-conversation all of a sudden?

[wary canyon]

Yes we do

[frank owl]

:3 thanks everyone

[oak cedar]

Don’t care. They lied.

[static burrow]

Its the ads mid conversation we are annoyed about not all ads in general

[runic bluff]

Yeah, but from time to time and not in the main thing like bfr

[narrow dock]

Who’s nobody?

[opal crystal]

HAPPY BIRTHDAYAYYAYAYAYYYY

[stark prism]

I WAS MID EMOTIONAL SCENE AND THEN. the drumstep add with bad players pops up

[wraith canyon]

Birthday wishes ally... have a unforgettable one✨️

[hallow tusk]

Welcome to the club, we're considering going on a strike

[humble pivot]

[stable sail]

Yeah, unfortunately.

[upper laurel]

They lied to us they lied to us AGAIN

[frank owl]

:3

[glossy plover]

WE DONT NEED ADS IN BETWEEN OUR CONVOSATIONS

[magic lagoon]

I’m sure we don’t even mind the ads we got when we opened the chat it’s just the mid conversations ads are extremely irritating

[midnight falcon]

They kingsshot no ads... Ads

[maiden blade]

Do they take feedback from the discord?? Like what’s the point of the channel even being there

[crude sentinel]

PDFRTR QTHATS ACTUALLY FUNNY NGL

[merry sail]

What about the ads that are showing on the top of the screen

[pliant niche]

Addblocker time then.

[hallow tusk]

It won't ever stop we can't tolerate everything they do.

[glossy plover]

THATS WHAT IN SAYING

[deft flicker]

Its like having a Karen go 'Pay attention to meh ads!'

[tender iron]

Nah haven't seem them do anything we actually wanted lol

[hallow tusk]

Or use the website

[static burrow]

they are.. manageable

[pliant niche]

C.AI when they need to make a good update

[knotty jay]

Then it’s a bug or something cause currently the app is buggy as heck for many people

[maiden blade]

Real💔

[narrow dock]

Of course we’ll have to go through the bootlickers that defend everything they do lmao

[inland owl]

Samee

[glossy plover]

It ain’t a bug

[crude sentinel]

Ye it crashes people as well

[merry sail]

But it's annoying, like those cheap games that have ads on the bottom all the way

[narrow dock]

It’s not a bug

[pliant nebula]

okay if it’s crashes then it’s a bug because it’s not supposed to that

[midnight falcon]

Atleast make the bots slightly better man. The multiple models seen to fail constantly+ the shortages of hours

[static burrow]

says the person who puts their money into the greedy creator's pockets monthly.

[hallow tusk]

Those are the people who are addicted to the app and can't do nothing but worship the devs those are who the Devs are targeting and milking out money from

[stark stone]

i swear next they are adding “daily limit on chatting” 🫩

[warped veldt]

smh this app is going down the crapper with every update they add it just makes it worse like the ads were fine outside the chats

[runic bluff]

The only places that do that, putting pop-ups in the middle of chats or in the middle of the main screen, are cheap dating apps like gr-in-d. Er.

[oak cedar]

Notice how the bootlickers are all + users?

[deft flicker]

I miss the day when C.AI wasn't trying to be a television.

[pliant niche]

Are we really going to stop using it though?

[midnight falcon]

They makings charms the money to use chatting to free users

[maiden blade]

No for real tho I see way too many people defending them 😭

[wary canyon]

But like i listen to mysic and then an ad ckmed up and it stops my music I HATE ITTT

[knotty jay]

Cause I’m an adult and make big people money

[narrow dock]

I’m already looking at one on reddit💀

[hallow tusk]

I'm telling you they can't live without their bots

[pliant nebula]

i highly doubt it since they’re doing everything they can to keep a free version on the app

[glossy plover]

Yes but the mid conversation ads are annoying and I don’t think it’s a bug

[tender iron]

Everything has so many ads its super sad

[upbeat pivot]

Very sad, I uninstalled it. What can you do? Imagining costs money now. Bruh 🙁

[stark stone]

just an example

[oak cedar]

Nearly not if you’re spending your money on a chatbot site and then defending a corporation that JUST lied to their customers

[glossy plover]

Fr

[pliant nebula]

you don’t think the ads crashing people is a bug? if ads randomly appeared mid convo and randomly forces people out of an app, that’s highly likely it’s a bug

[runic bluff]

The best thing to do would be to start leaving bad reviews on the app, lower the rating, and wait for the backlash...

[stark stone]

these updates are always bad

[maiden blade]

No literally lmao

[narrow dock]

Then maybe, just maybe… they shouldn’t put ads in the middle of chats

[hallow tusk]

The devs will eventually increase the price of the subscription and add more ads to milk those people more and more they just don't care

[static burrow]

so am i? but i have better things to spent my money on?

[glossy plover]

Yes

[merry sail]

I don't think they'll care much about it

[maiden blade]

I took advantage of c.ai when they had no ads or time limits

[runic bluff]

That, or quit the app, switch systems... Or just leave it at that, period.

[glossy plover]

Fr

[wary canyon]

Same

[stark stone]

at this point add a one time pay off for ads cuz aint nobody buying c.ai+

[warped veldt]

they had a great app then they ruined it fr

[broken kraken]

Adult money should be used for useful things like wasting it all on steam

[pliant nebula]

yeah i know it’s a little extreme though. i’m just being realistic because i can see they are trying. not executed properly but they are trying

[upper laurel]

People who defend a company that lies to your face multiple times is like slamming your head into your pc

[narrow dock]

They’ll do that but not add any extra incentive to buy it lmao then wonder why nobody wants to buy it

[winter prawn]

I hope so :< ! I haven’t crashed, but I have gotten mid convo ads- it’s annoying </3

[static burrow]

REAL

[upbeat pivot]

Husuasuh

[oak cedar]

Johnny Silverhand warned us of this

[hallow tusk]

"B-BUT SERVER COSTS!!"

[static burrow]

YOU PEOPLE GET IT!

[merry sail]

Every time I use the app I feel like smashing my phone to the wall

[pliant nebula]

then maybe it’s just a bug lol

[maiden blade]

No yeah it feels like they are actively trying to ruin the app

[eager nacelle]

"What? This McDonald's that has been giving us free burgers for months now decided that we should start paying for it? Bootlickers"

[wary canyon]

YES THAT JUST THAT

[maiden blade]

Fr

[oak cedar]

Plus user spotted, opinion rejected

[narrow dock]

…That wouldn’t happen if they didn’t lie to it’s users about NOT adding non invasive ads

[upper laurel]

Burgers were never free

[eager nacelle]

Just tell me you're broke and move on

[hallow tusk]

Except it's not. It's a chatbot app.

[knotty jay]

Drama starter get blocked

[wary canyon]

YESSS

[robust belfry]

idfc

[narrow dock]

Ofc the + user said this lmao

[oak cedar]

Lmao the plus users are so utterly delusional bruh

[pliant nebula]

yeah i know, most people have. it’s annoying but i don’t think anyone can do anything about it

[hallow tusk]

I'm telling you they can't live without their bots lmfao

[static burrow]

money is better spent on drugs and alchohol, not to roleplay with fictional characters

[warped veldt]

like they added money to stop the ads and it was fine it didn’t ruin the whole experience but then they added so many limits and such

[oak cedar]

You spend your money on a chatbot website you cretin

[broken kraken]

Stop d riding companies they don’t want u

[tender iron]

💀💀

[upper laurel]

People when you don't buy some scammy bs that tickles your feet and toes instead of a warm meal and music for yourself :

[pliant nebula]

we’re delusional for being understanding? lmao. ragebaiter blocked

[robust belfry]

@harsh shoal sorry about the ping BUT WE DON'T WANT THE ADS MID CHAT, YOU ARE LOSING US BECAUSE OF IT

[forest furnace]

Keep discussions civil. Thank you

Message sent by a server moderator.

[hallow tusk]

Yeah nah I'd rather spend that on a better subscription or a KFC meal

[stark stone]

okay im back

[oak cedar]

[glossy plover]

minding my own business while talking to a chill bot when a ad doesn’t let me finish my sentence

“FUCK!”

[upbeat pivot]

😭🙏

[upper laurel]

I think you're pretty understanding lowk

[winter prawn]

Yeahhh- I just click out and in the app tbh when an ad pops up lol

[static burrow]

like literally anything else than this app

[broken kraken]

Even crack is a better use of money

[narrow dock]

Like atp it’s just sad

[tender iron]

Crazy 💀

[hallow tusk]

I'm saying it's a dumbass chatbot app

[static burrow]

best use of money

[tender iron]

Soo they are reading chats..

[robust belfry]

then get rid of the pop up ads mid chat bro

[pliant nebula]

i am. im trying my best to understand both sides, because i explain the sides of one doesn’t mean i dont understand the other

[hallow tusk]

Y'all made everyone so pissed off don't say nothing

[stark stone]

worse than polybuzz right now

[maiden blade]

Lmao😭

[static burrow]

im agreeing with you you're making valid points

[pliant nebula]

oh yikes, that sounds difficult. does any add-blockers work at all?

[glossy plover]

I won’t until you decide to remove mid chat ads!

[molten sonnet]

such a shame the interactive stories in labs is not functioning at all i had a cool idea for a story too...

[harsh shoal]

Then I'll say it.

Keep discussions civil, or I will time you out

[tender iron]

Most ppl use mobile

[eager nacelle]

If it's just a dumb ai chat app. Then why are you people complaining about a free service having ads? Are you people stupid?

[static burrow]

oh god here it comes

[radiant cypress]

Are mid chat ads really not a bug?

[pliant nebula]

you can still have one on mobile. that depends on the platform if they patch it

[narrow dock]

Quiet bootlicker

[broken kraken]

Free services require people to actually use the damn app

[tender iron]

How

[static burrow]

oooh he used big text someone save me

[hallow tusk]

Eventually even people who are paying for plus will get effected bruh what do you expect?? Their greed will reach even you

[upper laurel]

Are you stupid for spending your money on something more useless than youtube premium ?

[maiden blade]

LMAO I CANT

[glossy plover]

Brooooo just pleaseeeeee stop the mid chat ads….. it’s super annoying and I bet you are already losing most of the people here

[static burrow]

alright see you lot im getting banned

[hallow tusk]

Lmaooooo

[stark stone]

spotify premium exists too
its peak

[robust belfry]

no offense but you lied about making the ads NONE-INTRUSIVE

[knotty jay]

I can name many other things that have adds like YouTube,TikTok,instagram,facebook and so much more that has ads

[finite flint]

Kappa is a mod and has no control over the ads yall. I don’t like the idea of them either but don’t be mean to kappa

[hallow tusk]

Kappa is just a mod they ain't a dev unfortunately

[fiery narwhal]

Omfg💔

[pliant nebula]

you can install one directly from your phone’s app store and it teaches you how to put it on, but be careful because a lot of ones can be scams

[eager nacelle]

Yes, because it's MY money. I'm spending it however I please. Wallet watching smh

[broken kraken]

Why use Spotify when YouTube with a blocker exists

[midnight falcon]

Btw chat are going slow as hell right now

[warped veldt]

overall the users have the right to be upset they lied about making the ads not intrusive and they did it in a way that looks natural

[static burrow]

real everyone is on timeout

[tender iron]

Yeah but they don't just pop up on ur screen while you're doing something

[deft flicker]

So c.AI is the next YouTube. pfft

[hallow tusk]

I'd rather spend that money on netflix or Spotify lmao

[winter prawn]

Idk actually, I could ask my partner, they hv them -

[wise verge]

Yall are aware dog piling on Kappa is useless coz the mods don’t work for c.ai?

[stark stone]

SPOTIFY 🗣️🔥🔥

[static burrow]

we're shooting the messenger here

[bitter dirge]

Does anyone else’s chats randomly shake when they try to scroll up? 💀

[upper laurel]

I don't even use netflix cuz lowk it's not that great

[hallow tusk]

At least YouTube has manageable ads not ads evey minute

[pliant nebula]

oke, let me know if they help! i know they’re trying to patch them up so they might not work

[fiery narwhal]

Yes

[tender iron]

Alright ty!

[deft jetty]

He's just a mod for the community, he has nothing to do with what the team decided to do or not, mind you.

[stark stone]

ima be back hold up

[midnight falcon]

Wait YouTube music is better that Spotify for me

[upper laurel]

Yeah dw it's a bug it happened to me

[winter prawn]

YES IT SPOOKED ME THR FIRST TIME LOL

[robust belfry]

oh.. whoops

[deft flicker]

I know right?

[static burrow]

would rather buy winrar then cai+

[bitter dirge]

😭thank gosh. I thought I was going insane

[hallow tusk]

Exactly but it's better than c.ai who would even want to pay for cai and are totally sane?

[ebon marlin]

did yall do the survey?

[midnight falcon]

Zzz

[warped veldt]

which survey???

[fiery narwhal]

Poland mentioned

[tender iron]

Yeah I wonder if Cai is gonna tell ppl to not harass staff

[winter prawn]

That makes sense! I do hope this a bug (;w;)!! I’m fine w ads, it’s just bit annoying

[ebon marlin]

in the notifications there is a survey to tell them what you like about the app eyc

[hallow tusk]

It's not they announced that it's not a bug

[midnight falcon]

Check app notifications

[upbeat pivot]

No, it's not, colleague 😭😭😭

[deft flicker]

OH how delightful; a survey not even devs pay attention to.

[hallow tusk]

Lmfao

[upper laurel]

yeah i did

[pliant nebula]

i think mainly because of some of them crashes people and it wasn’t announced, it most likely is a bug but we can only hope! i’m sure these will go soon though, it just doesn’t sound like something they’d keep for a long time

[ebon marlin]

🇵🇱

[tender iron]

They announced it wasn't

[deft flicker]

Well, they better start unDMACing bots after this.

[harsh shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/stallipiano-gif-26949640

[hallow tusk]

They said it's not a bug it's official 🫩

[long bay]

Im sorry im getting adds inbetween chatting now?

[harsh thunder]

What 🫩

[winter prawn]

Oof, not much I can do on it not being a bug💔 so. Oh well ig

[ebon marlin]

i really do hope that they would get rid of the ads

[midnight falcon]

Yep

[static burrow]

tbf ur just the server mod here u aint got any decision on what the app does...

[hallow tusk]

You're lowkey chill you're good

[viscid obsidian]

Wait thats gonna stay?

[stark stone]

okay im back what’d i miss

[hallow tusk]

Exactly it's ridiculous

[harsh thunder]

Where’d they say that

[pliant nebula]

where? i haven’t seen an announcement for these kind of ads specifically. it has to be officially stated as the pop up ads to count

[radiant cypress]

So it’s really not a bug? That’s ridiculous

[midnight falcon]

People blaming on a mod that has no power whatsoever I believe

[robust belfry]

Kappa im sorry xd

[hallow tusk]

I wish I could send a screenshot but I can't

[upper laurel]

🧊

[tender iron]

Welp

[pliant nebula]

you can send it in dms if you want, i just can’t find anything about it 💔

[stark stone]

lol

[finite flint]

Share your feedback on a ticket or something

[hallow tusk]

[midnight falcon]

So. New wave of dead treats.?

[robust belfry]

[deft flicker]

Oh that's a terrible idea, ads? If I wanted ads I'd use a television.

[hallow tusk]

I DMed y'all

[upbeat pivot]

[midnight falcon]

Wait. Geniunly question. There are actual dependant people of the app? Like like addiction

[ebon marlin]

i hope not

[hallow tusk]

How can I get the perms to send a screenshot?

[winter prawn]

Off topic but CaseOh pfp is so peak

[finite flint]

I mean ads are pretty common nowadays, they’re everywhere. But I don’t support the mid chat ads for free users so just let them know through a ticket.

I don’t see how attacking mods will help anything, they’re just working on discord

[chrome nacelle]

Since when do we get those ads while chatting?

[midnight falcon]

Yesterday

[hallow tusk]

Welcome to the club

[harsh shoal]

Either go to #📱︱chat-feed or be a Plus member

[south aurora]

I hate how many ads I've been getting I swear it's like every 20 minutes

[upbeat pivot]

I did this in the app's own feedback section; you take a screenshot and archive it there.

[chrome nacelle]

Oh hell no

[winter prawn]

Oh no

[robust belfry]

question: if i shut my wifi off for a few hours... would the pop-up ads not appear in my messages lol

[deft flicker]

Saw this coming a mile away.

[tender iron]

I literally don't watch TV cause I don't want to pay to not have ads.. 😭 I usually just mod/pirate everything. Money is scarce nowadays. I use it towards bills & food.

[dusty flower]

yes actually, i used to be one of them

[acoustic sinew]

Hello, how can I change my chat to French?

[stark stone]

i only play c.ai in the car and spend the rest of the day having an actual life and playing different games

i still dont like the fact they lied tho

[robust belfry]

DAMN IT XD

[stone thorn]

Shii, I think I freed myself no ad within the 2 hours I used it

[finite flint]

https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new

just gonna link this

[upbeat pivot]

If he doesn't answer, it's because he was hunted.

[knotty jay]

I use Cai occasionally I’m a plus user for DS and longer personas I do other things also Cai+ users have it because they want it we make our own money we get to choose what we do

[hallow tusk]

Understandable but you gotta understand this will eventually effect plus members too this is absolutely ridiculous and abysmal

[zinc birch]

Hi, Drav! Long time no see! 👋😀

[pulsar lintel]

Still no ads, I MIGHT be blessed

[finite flint]

Oh what’s up WB how’s it going

[knotty jay]

How? In my subscription it says ad free

[stone thorn]

That's one good ass question because even I don't know I didn't even have the banners, but I saw the propaganda since yesterday they just tryna delulu me into believing it's a bug, trust, this level of genjutsu doesn't work on me

[zinc birch]

I'm well, thank you. How are you?

[unreal fjord]

Did they take off the ads guys?

[hallow tusk]

Ad free until they raise the subscription price and might even add some stupid stuff like leave the banners there or something greedy to milk money off of y'all too

[finite flint]

Doing alright! Hanging in there. Gonna nap after work

[upbeat pivot]

No 🙁

[harsh thunder]

I don’t mind ads I just don’t want to be chat interrupted

[pulsar lintel]

Been chatting for 45 mins now, not a single ad had interrupted me

[magic lagoon]

🤔

[vocal moon]

I got 2 ads mid conversation already

[south aurora]

Hot take: I think it's weird how you can romanticize real life peoples ai like I understand wanting to talk to your favorite actors or something but like romanticizing an actual person who is living and breathing who could be married / in a relationship is kind of unsettling

[robust belfry]

do you have c.ai plus-? xd

[stark stone]

im back again

[digital perch]

I was fine with the ads before, but the banner and mid convo just feels too much

[pulsar lintel]

Havent spent a single cent in the app

[past herald]

Hello why are we getting ads mid convo now💔💔

[hot ridge]

this is a great take, i agree

[robust belfry]

oh- wait- HOW?!

[stark stone]

im to broke
but tbh who spending $10 a month or $100 a year

[pulsar lintel]

No idea, havent been getting ad banners either, I mightve been blessed 😭🙏

[hallow tusk]

You gotta understand defending decisions like this and tolerating it will only increase the negativity of the app and website and it won't be long for them to keep fucking up until the app becomes unusable (it already is) or the whole service might shutdown

[south aurora]

It just makes me uncomfortable that people can do this

[vocal moon]

100$ for a service for an ai app is already wild enough

[robust belfry]

wheeze share your blessing with mee xd

[midnight falcon]

So

[wise verge]

I do agree with this take as well, I tried once or twice with real people and got super uncomfy so I stay with Ocs and video game characters

[midnight falcon]

Any interesting things or why suddenly everything is so quiet

[pulsar lintel]

Omg I wish I would bro i rlly do 😭
Ima continue chatting for 30 mins and see if I got an ad

[knotty jay]

Never said I was defending and please drop this im done entertaining this conversation

[placid cape]

So there are ads mid convo.

[upper laurel]

some of you have to stop licking their boot and defending them for lying and being deaf

[harsh thunder]

Honestly the banners are whatever it’s a bit of an eye sore but wtv, but mid convo is the thing that they said they wouldnt do. Cause now I don’t even know why I verified for this app if it just turned out like this lol

[midnight falcon]

[hallow tusk]

Alright no hard feelings twin

[tender iron]

Lmao

[magic lagoon]

uh oh not LARRY

[south aurora]

Yeah, that also makes me super uncomfortable

[upbeat pivot]

True

[digital perch]

They pissed off Larry, we're fucked 😔

[midnight falcon]

There's no bug. Is official

[placid cape]

Dont worry, you’re spared for today.

[pulsar lintel]

Its a miracle 🙏

[harsh thunder]

Thank you Larry

[south aurora]

I tried to. I'm not one to judge, it just makes me uncomfortable

[stone thorn]

That's what I'm saying I see through the propraganda

[twin blade]

Guys why is it fucking limiting my chat, one hour only per 6 hrs

[placid cape]

Who decided to roll out this feature? Please let me know! I will have a fun conversation with them

[rancid nacelle]

cutely gets an ad before texting to a chatbot ✨

[hallow tusk]

Larry punish the devs for their greed

[midnight falcon]

Parental controls?

[twin blade]

No I don’t have that

[rigid laurel]

Sooo whats up with the ads to send a message every so often 💔

[midnight falcon]

I don't know then

[hallow tusk]

We're doomed 😂✌️

[midnight falcon]

New things. Adds now appear in chat

[eager nacelle]

You know what, I changed my mind. I agree with you guys. They should take out all the ads for everyone

c.ai dies within a few months because they don't have money anymore

[digital perch]

I'm just gonna not use the app until it gets changed

Time to hyperfocus on The Amazing Digital Circus 🤸

[tribal brook]

Who else is getting ads every 5 messages, and it’s either a long ad or a gross one

[wise verge]

Few weeks not even months

[south aurora]

I usually get ads right after I send a message so I can't even see the response until the ads are over

[rigid laurel]

L update. They were fine before

[placid cape]

Im honestly kind of pissed off. Didnt they PROMISE not to intrude mid chat?

[upper laurel]

They lied again

[hallow tusk]

It might as well, we don't want to be slaves to something that wants nothing more than to suck money out of us

[harsh thunder]

They did promise they wouldn’t

[tender iron]

They can make money in better ways. They're a team, they can come up with ideas.

[eager nacelle]

But they're not fine now. That's why they introduced ads.

[eager nacelle]

Then don't use it? No one is forcing you guys to sit through the ads to use it

[digital perch]

I don't care about the rest of them. I care about the mid-chat and banners

[knotty jay]

Age restriction your account got marked as under 18 so you need to age verify

[midnight falcon]

I just want the bots to low-key work properly

[upper laurel]

im fine with ads but not in the MIDDLE of my chat

[twin blade]

What happens if I’m younger than 18

[south aurora]

That's a thing now

[rigid laurel]

Look I meant before mid chat ads. I was fine (albeit annoyed) with the ads before but now that you have to watch one BEFORE sending a message sometimes, its annoying

[tender iron]

Huh?? That's a thing 😭

[midnight falcon]

I don't mind the ads.
Just how lately the quality of chatting been going down

[pastel steeple]

Feels weird to talking to someone (ai actually, but just think of them as a person to talk to) but out of nowhere there is this unskipable ad for whole 30 seconds

[hallow tusk]

You gotta understand defending decisions like this and tolerating it will only increase the negativity of the app and website and it won't be long for them to keep fucking up until the app becomes unusable (it already is) or the whole service might shutdown

(I copied ts from myself)

[harsh thunder]

Then your kept on that time limit till u verify

[stark stone]

i got timed out mb

[knotty jay]

No more 1 on 1 chat hold I’ll I’ll grab the announcement

[rancid nacelle]

it is what it is✨✨🌅

[eager nacelle]

Legit how? Less than 10% of the people that use this pay for Plus. Outside of that, no one is going to pay for ai chatbots

[midnight falcon]

What did bro did 😭

[upper laurel]

Im fine with ADS in the app but not in the MIDDLE OF MY CHAT

[eager nacelle]

If they DON'T do this. The service will die either way

[stark stone]

said execute the devs

[rigid laurel]

THIS

[hallow tusk]

It is what is it until the app shuts down from the greed of the devs

[upper laurel]

Keywords : MIDDLE

[digital perch]

Well I'm definitely not paying now 💀

[midnight falcon]

Lmao

[stark stone]

i deserved that lol

[rancid nacelle]

going down the same route as the amino app

[twin blade]

What…

[tender iron]

Yeah 🤯 maybe because its ai Honestly I'm better off making my own local ai

[knotty jay]

For the ones who didn’t know about age verification here ya go

#📣︱announcements message

[rigid laurel]

This dude with the green name is just being an oddball

[midnight falcon]

It was funny ngl,

[eager nacelle]

You weren't even going to. Don't do hypotheticals

[celest arrow]

I agree with you

[stark stone]

it was funny

[hallow tusk]

There's a lotta things they could've done better but nah they chose the worst option.

[midnight falcon]

I never verify and I can use it perfectly?

[placid cape]

You guys should be ASHAMED of yourselves. (Mods). You guys promised not to intrude mid chat, you said it wouldnt intrude the C.ai experience. (Your words not mine). How could you guys DO this? I get that ads are needed for money, but seriously? I mean, MID CHAT. Thinking back, i started using C.ai 2 years ago. It was PEAK. Now? I cant even recognize the old C.ai.

[digital perch]

If I found it worth it, I would

Currently I don't believe it's worth the money, unless there are serious benefits

[eager nacelle]

Then why are you arguing? Local LLMs are much better and less restrictive than c.ai. The only reason why people use this is because it's easy and convenient.

[wraith mesa]

Because you haven’t been flagged as a minor

[south aurora]

Hold on I'm going to cry if I have to what a year to have my one on one conversations that last 3 to 12 hours T^T

[tender iron]

Yeah, exactly. Thanks for answering your own question. 😭

[rigid laurel]

THIS.

[glossy plover]

I agree

[rancid nacelle]

i just wanna finish fighting batman with no interruptions 🌧️

[harsh shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/stallipiano-gif-26949640

[knotty jay]

So you only have to verify if your account gets flagged as under 18 which means you get a time limit and the edit button removed so you are fine

[magic lagoon]

If LARRY said it…something must be done ASAP 😔

[harsh shoal]

What did I do?

[stark stone]

bro c.ai fr turning into roblox with these buns updates

[brittle quest]

You don't want to pay, don't

And don't even say anything to the mods who aren't the ones coding

Plus there have been bugs, known, they are working on it

[viscid obsidian]

I was gonna say ⤴️

[rancid nacelle]

cai bazuki

[wise verge]

Mods don’t work for c.ai btw

[hallow tusk]

It won't be long before you too get effected, they'll implement ad banners on plus members and increase the price of the subscription when people leave to milk as much money from you as possible.

[rigid laurel]

So what are some alternatives for c.ai 💔

[stark stone]

nothing just angry people
the mods dont do nothing wrong to the app itself

[rigid laurel]

dm me

[placid cape]

Then whoever rolled this update out.

[rancid nacelle]

truth nuke

[viscid obsidian]

Remember. If youre bored enough, grass feels good today.

[upper laurel]

I KNOW YALL MAD FOR ADS IN THE MIDDLE OF CHAT BUT CHILL W THE MODS- 😭

[spark zealot]

guys you know if you do a ticket do you always receive a final email even if it gets denied or do you just hear nothing?

[brittle quest]

I'm so f sorry for what's happening and how you're all being targetted

[rigid laurel]

It's raining but I did go to the gym today so I'm all good

[south aurora]

How can you get flagged

[robust belfry]

poor Kappa didn't do nothing

[wise verge]

Then take it to whoever did instead of blaming mods. Y’all have been dog piling Kappa for half an hour now

[hot ridge]

you usually don't hear from them unfortunately

[midnight falcon]

Oh ok guess they didn't flag me. W

[radiant cypress]

Where’s Marie since she’s community lead and actually works w the devs?? @ionic oasis

[hallow tusk]

I've been trying to tell these people all day long but they keep riding and defending the bad choices of the devs like stop endorsing that

[stark stone]

kappa fr goated tho

[eager nacelle]

Then if they do that, I'm going to stop subscribing. Unlike 90% of the people here, I pay until I see no reason to. Call me bootlicker, but until that doompost happens, I'll keep on paying and using this service that I use like 4-6 hours a day throughout my day.

[placid cape]

Its not kappa’s fault. If you know who to go to, tell us.

[half lotus]

kappa you're the mastermind behind the ads, clearly

[viscid obsidian]

I think if anyone's going to complain literally consider doing it inside of the app store or going into their support desk and leaving an email.

[placid cape]

Did both.

[knotty jay]

Based on many different factors ask kappa he knows more off the top of his head i don’t want to accidentally say the wrong thing

[viscid obsidian]

Thank you for your service

[humble pivot]

[stark stone]

i went offline for like 5 seconds and came back online HOW DID YOU ALL SEND LIKE 50 MESSAGES

[hallow tusk]

4-6 hours?! My guy I use it for 2 hours a day max... Yea I see the issue now...

[south aurora]

DM me

[solar raven]

Is the mid chat ads bug or feature? Someone say it bug

[glossy plover]

YOU (DEVS) Need to stop adding these ads, I get that it’s for money and all, but mid chat is just not cool. It was normal with ads when you open a chatbot.

[midnight falcon]

Wait wait guys. New game lest check the play store reviews, first one to find a dead treat wins

[brittle quest]

And you should all start considering the fact bugs exist like- you can read statements that have been shared by other users along the day

[midnight falcon]

Feature now

[placid cape]

Honestly, the quality of character ai is incredible. The chats? The immersion? All peak. But now its just money hungry. ads mid chat? They also added ads for making a PERSONA! They added ads for creating characters, opening chats, starting new chats, EVERYTHING.

[rigid laurel]

Its not a bug 💔

[knotty jay]

I’m not comfortable with that sorry personal preference I only really dm with people I know

[eager nacelle]

Yes, the issue is I'm paying for a service I use a lot that I find value in it.

[tender iron]

It's not a bug 🤯

[humble pivot]

it’s an addiction for some unfortunately 🤔but at least it’s not the worst

[hallow tusk]

It's official they announced it

[harsh thunder]

It’s a feature

[south aurora]

Okayyy

[rancid nacelle]

they think bootlicking will save them 🌧️

[placid cape]

Mods, im sincerely sorry for what i said against you. If you know who to contact for this, PLEASE raise it to them

[robust belfry]

stares at the charms those are sure looking useful by now xd

[viscid obsidian]

I mean hypothetically speaking if it gets so bad there's always the option of just leaving. We could use more fan fiction writers. It seems like everyone is good at typing up a story here.

[digital perch]

HoLY

[upper laurel]

Source ?

[brittle quest]

I'll read that by myself later then 🤔 Not just reading you

[hallow tusk]

It will make them go through hell if they keep worshipping the devs, devs only see them as a source of cash

[solar raven]

At least they made charm useful

[brittle quest]

I don't trust the people here, it's different

[hallow tusk]

I can dm you

[placid cape]

Real

[humble pivot]

anyways i like fanfics

[midnight falcon]

Missions. Don't reforges fast enough. You only get like 30? Every day and just 1 hour add free cost 20

[rigid laurel]

Hey so chat if you know alternatives to c.ai dm me 💔

[viscid obsidian]

Fanfictions are fire and I'm running out of new ones.

[upper laurel]

nevermind
still not gonna trust the source

[placid cape]

Who should i go after next?

[midnight falcon]

Who doesn't

[rancid nacelle]

ive lived long enough to see diehard consumers witness their favorite companies fall apart and somehow shill for them

[hallow tusk]

It was here in this chat

[crude sentinel]

I think my ads are gone

[viscid obsidian]

Physical Books dont got subscriptions. Promise.

[robust belfry]

don't get hopes up-

[upper laurel]

Yeah but it didn't affirm NOR said it was a bug
it just asked you to buy cai+

[solar raven]

Wait... Can't we go to web version to stop the mid chat ads?

[crude sentinel]

Wdym?

[humble pivot]

it’s an amazing substitute 🥶

[rigid laurel]

Smb confirm this rn

[hallow tusk]

Companies often target those people, those are the same people who would sell of their houses and cars for the company

[viscid obsidian]

AI is the substitute for reading books and fan fics. Real creators were first.

[rigid laurel]

No ads on web ver??

[magic lagoon]

It sucks how there is still no announcements, we’ve been chatting about the same issue for hours now 😭

[hallow tusk]

They announced that it was an official thing...

[crude sentinel]

Wtf? Where ?

[hallow tusk]

I'll DM you

[humble pivot]

clockedddd

[viscid obsidian]

Isn't that enough reason to uninstall?

[fluid trail]

hell nahhh

[finite flint]

Free will twin do what you’d like

[midnight falcon]

#💭︱cai-discussion message

[vestal forge]

[odd crag]

if it's not in announcements it's not official. the dyno message was sent by a mod.

[hot ridge]

I encourage you to do it tbh, i don't use the app either

[rancid nacelle]

its sad, really

[tribal brook]

I knew this was coming when they added the charms

[upper laurel]

they only ask to buy cai+

[viscid obsidian]

I haven't really been on it but I just noticed that there was a discussion so I joined today..

[digital perch]

Heavy on this

The only reason why I switched is because the AI feels more personalized

And most roleplay partners I've had haven't been the best at communicating

[hot ridge]

@harsh shoal

[cobalt walrus]

So, it's not a bug and it's supposed to happen? Like the ads interrupting in the middle of a chat and making what you've written getting deleted?

[vestal forge]

tbh atp im not surprised

[viscid obsidian]

Don't get me wrong that role playing with a robot is better than role playing with a person any day so that you don't get physically hurt. But I think we're missing the plot with the fact that they are milking us...

[radiant cypress]

Technically they didn’t say officially ads in chat are official, this is saying that they can’t not have adds for free users. It’s not mentioning that ads in chat are going to be a thing moving forward.

[crude sentinel]

I guess so

[tender iron]

[cobalt walrus]

I never got ads when they first announced it so idk but man, the ads interrupting you in the middle of a chat? Really

[brittle quest]

Right it may be a bot answer just in case but not about the bug or not bug discussion

[midnight falcon]

Oh he got executed

[rancid nacelle]

oh, we're deleting messages now?

[hot ridge]

enjoy the copium but i think c.ai sucks for this and that it's very intentional

[gray burrow]

So why are plus chat users being hated on?

[vestal forge]

so basically no ads interrupting in chats guess that’s a false promise

[rigid laurel]

They better remove it. It was fine before when it was ads just opening char and stuff
